Strange things happened at the temple.  We woke one morning to a parking lot full of chairs and a shaded cover. We had a visit from the president of this island.  He wanted to visit the temple and asked if he could take a private tour.  Instead the area president invited him to the temple grounds.  We had a huge turn out of members and missionaries that were called to lend their support.  It was quite an exciting day with all the security, ambulances and motorcade.  It turned out to be a spiritual feast as the area seventy testified of the importance of the family and presented Leonel Fernandez with a framed copy of The Family Proclamation.  There was a special peace with the music of the tabernacle choir as we gathered and dismissed.  His personnel told the area presidency that they felt the peace and spirit and were grateful to us.  Our contribution to all of this was that we burned some midnight oil to find his first four generations to present to him.  Several of our genealogist helped us and we tried to find as much information as possible with such a short notice.  Then we printed him a nice copy in fancy font and he was so pleased he wants us to search for more generations.  It was an interesting process of events.
